my RE told me that caffeine actually helps to REV up the sperm in men. My hubby (to this day) chugs a ROCKSTAR drink about 1/2 an hour before we do the deed! ;-)

I know how you feel. Ususally my hubbies numbers are awesome, but for our IUI Monday motility, quantity, everthing! Was soo low. So, I'm hoping it'll work as well!

Good luck!!!!

Could it be the heat?

He girl... when doing sperm analysis they always say that each specimen can have different results, that's why they always require two for comparison.

My DH had sperm issues and took 500mg of Vitamin C which helped his sperm immensely. As you may already know, anything like supplementation would take 90 days to show in his sperm sample as the sperm that he is currently making won't be "seen" for 90 days.

The heat, maybe exercise in the heat, etc. It' so hard to say... best wishes to you!

Sorry... I mean to say 1000 mg of Vitamin C... whatever his body doesn't use, he will pee out. ;)

I hope this helps!

We just got back my husbands SA and he has lower than average motility (49% out of 50% for avg). The doctor said that stress can decrease motility but im sure you know that ... he also told my husband to start taking this supplement called Rexceed i think... when I looked it up its just vitamis zinc l-carnitine etc... so in a month we will do another SA .... good luck

Sperm analysis is different from lab to lab and from one month to the other. That is what our doctor told us.
My husband sperm count was 25 million in February then drop to 10 million in July. It all depends on what lab u do the analysis at.
I also read in a book that because of the heat in the summer, the sperm analysis will be lower than winter time. Stress can play a big role too.
Wish u the best of luck and hope u will have BFP soon. Keep us updated with your good news. Relax and stay positive.
Have a great day.

Hoping to hear a BFP in 16 days for you!!

I also was told a little jolt before IUI or BD was helpful! :) You only need one! I hope that strong finds an egg!!! Babydust to you!!! XXX

When we went in earlier this month for an IUI, we had a similar thing, only it wasn't just the motility, it was the number too. Waaaay lower and slower than his usual. We're working with the doctors to figure out what the issue is, but they suspect it might be because the sample was collected in the restroom there, while his good ones have all been collected at home. I've heard and read that if they're nervous/stressed/hurried when they're collecting, it can have an impact on the quality. So that's just another possibility!
